I think the weather may be more of a factor, I haven't had any experience of it yet, as the cloud base hasn't been that high!
I don't believe there is a view the Peel has a secret (or otherwise) policy of who passes or not, I feel the big part of the thread is the necessity of the airspace changes. I am sure everybody is being very careful at the beginning of the implementation (although I have heard tales of serious rants from Doncaster Radar to infringers - all second hand though) and we will only find out when the weather and SOP settles down.
